To be honest, as an American I did shy away from the movie based on the reviews, opting for the DVD release. *shrugs*
But then again, I never read Pullman's His Dark Materials, nor have I read any Harry Potter books. *shrugs again*
However, my seven...errr...eight year old daughter (egad, her birthday is this month!) has expressed an interest in the books and the movie. Do you think it's worthwhile for a precocious eight year old? We read together and enjoyed both The Narnia Chronicles and The Hobbit (She enjoyed LotR on film, but the books are a little over her head). Just wondering what the reading level of Pullman's books are ('young adult' is a rather vague category).
